Before my current SC, I had 01 S2000. I had many cars before but the S2000 is perfect car in my eyes, I only sold it because it broke down, and I didn't have time to fix it. So I just sold it as is, and got an SC400 as the daily driver for now - it's an okay car (I had 2 SCs before) but I'll get back into S as soon as I can.

after reading all the pages of the thread figured it's my turn...
start out at 16 with the oldsmobile aurora
Next week left me house looking like this due to electrical fire
Picked up this 300m
Heads warped on it so ditched it and picked up my sc
Went full 97 with it started a jz swap and realized I'm a broke as f#%k 20 yr old so while that project's on the back burner I drive this big sucka around
lincoln ls v8 rwd
Got a thing for big *** luxury cars... sc is my only toy. Had a ton of winter beaters.. sunfires, blazers etc

2003 Subaru WRX crazy how this car retained it's value..I sold it for what I bought it for 5 years later..
Had so many different exhausts on the WRX..couldn't find pics of them all, here's one of the ridiculously loud HKS catback (had a catless downpipe of course ).
Reason these cars retain their value up north so well...I will own another wrx in the future.

Up until 2000 I had a 1969 Ford Mustang fastback/Sportsroof. It had the original 302 and C-4 3-speed automatic. Before I sold it I had it breathing through an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, Holley 650 four-barrel carb and long tube headers into a Flowmaster 2.5" true dual exhaust. I bought a spare 5.0/302 block, had all this research done and was getting ready to start building up for high compression (stock was 8.0:1) but I ended up selling it before I went to college.
Next, a Prelude Type SH (5-speed manual). Modified the suspension with something similar to the MKIV/SC Gixxer-Drew setup and gave it an ACT Stage 2 clutch, catback and Hawk brake pads. Not a good car to modify but was a fun car that never let me down for over a decade until an idiot kid crashed into the back of it in stopped traffic because he was texting. Basically he totaled it after I insisted that rear subframe damage be factored into the repair estimate. By that time I had decided to stop modifying it and just drive it until it hit 500k or something ridiculous and get a more fun second car. Funny how things happen
